IRVINE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Axonics Modulation Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AXNX), a medical
technology company that has developed and is commercializing a novel
implantable Sacral Neuromodulation (“SNM”) device for the treatment
of urinary and bowel dysfunction, reported today financial results for
the first quarter ended March 31, 2019, and provided an update on
operational initiatives.

Recent Business Highlights

Net sales of the Axonics r-SNM® System1 from
international markets totaled $1.1 million in the first quarter of
2019, sequentially doubling sales from the 2018 fourth quarter. This
compares to no revenue in the same period last year.

Commercial efforts in Europe were focused in England and the
Netherlands, gaining an estimated 25% of the SNM market in England and
approximately 30% in the Netherlands of new patient implants in the
first quarter of 2019. A total of 23 hospitals in these markets are
now implanting the Axonics r-SNM System.

Presented at the American Urology Association (AUA) Annual Meeting on
May 5 the ARTISAN-SNM pivotal clinical study results on the full
cohort of patients implanted with the Axonics r-SNM System. The
pivotal study results indicated 90% of all implanted subjects met the
efficacy endpoint and that the study met all primary and secondary
endpoints.

Achieved CE Mark approval for full-body magnetic resonance imaging
(“MRI”) conditional labeling in Europe making the Axonics system the
first SNM device to allow a full-body MRI scan without being first
explanted.

investigational medical device in the United States

Raymond W. Cohen, CEO of Axonics, commented, “The generation of $1.1
million of revenue in the first quarter shows strong progress and
reflects the growing number of centers adopting our r-SNM product. We
anticipate continued market share gains from our two primary markets in
Europe in 2019, England and the Netherlands, and view those countries as
models for engaging and earning market share in the United States upon
FDA regulatory approval. While we are clear that the prize is the U.S.
market which represents nearly 90 percent of the overall volume in SNM,
based on this encouraging start, we do plan to expand our footprint in
Europe during 2019 and into 2020. Achieving CE Mark for full-body MRI
labeling, along with the unique features of our long-lived
neurostimulator, has provided important differentiators as compared to
the legacy provider, aiding our modestly-sized field team in gaining
access to the most active implanting centers.”

Cohen continued, “On the regulatory front, we are engaged in regular and
productive interactions with the FDA with our primary focus on gaining
approval in the shortest possible timeframe. We have enriched our
current PMA with the full cohort of ARTISAN-SNM study data as well as
the full-body MRI data. We believe that a significant portion of the FDA
review is complete and are confident that FDA approval will come during
the second half of 2019. While we push forward for clearance to market
in the U.S., we continue to put all the operational, manufacturing and
commercial pieces in place to support a broad, fully staffed and
immediate U.S. launch upon approval. The internal and U.S. commercial
teams continue to be rounded out. Overall, we are making excellent
progress on our key operational objectives.”

First Quarter 2019 Financial Results

Net revenue was $1.1 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2019,
derived from the sale of the Company’s r-SNM Systems to customers in
Europe and Canada, as compared to no net revenue for the same period of
last year.

Gross margin was 49.2% in the first quarter of 2019.

Operating expense was $14.1 million for the first quarter of 2019, as
compared to $6.5 million in the prior-year quarter. This increase was
primarily due to higher personnel costs across the organization related
to increased headcount in anticipation of the commercial launch of the
Company’s r-SNM System in the U.S., as well as higher costs associated
with operating as a public company.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2019 was $13.1 million as compared to
$6.6 million in the prior-year quarter. Net loss per share for the first
quarter of 2019 was $0.47 per share.

As of March 31, 2019, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments
were $144.2 million.
